Palm Springs Cruisin’ Association, Palm Desert, California;
Over 30 years ago, a group of car and hot rod enthusiasts gathered at Shakey’s Pizza in Palm Springs, CA to admire cars, exchange ideas and make new friends. Over the years this group has grown into the Palm Springs Cruisin’ Association with over 300 members who care about their cars, their friends and their community.
Several were patients of Dr. Sebastian George, a noted oncologist, at the time of his tragic death in 2002. Wanting to promote his legacy, they founded the Dr. George Charity Car Show, the proceeds of which help fund the Desert Cancer Foundation, which Dr. George co-founded. The Desert Cancer Foundation has paid for cancer-related screening, diagnosis, and treatment valued at more than $82.4 million dollars. Furthermore, Desert Cancer Foundation has served more than 8,000 residents in the Coachella Valley and surrounding communities.
